(It’s pouring rain and lightning has struck a nearby tower at our water park. We’ve therefore closed for safety and have evacuated all the guests. A woman of about 40 walks up to the gate while I’m ushering my fellow employees out of the park.)

Customer: “I’d like a ticket, please.”

Me: “I’m sorry; we’re closed right now due to inclement weather.”

Customer: “But I came here to use the water slides!”

Me: “I’m sorry, but it’s not safe right now. Lightning could strike one of the structures at any moment.”

Customer: “Sell me a ticket!”

Me: “Ma’am, I cannot do that. We cannot allow you to enter the park during extreme weather.”

(Suddenly, the woman HITS me in the face with her beach bag and runs into the park. Two of the burly male lifeguards run after her and drag her back to safety just as lightning strikes our tallest water slide structure. There are very dramatic sparks and fire. The woman screams, turns, and starts running from the park. On her way out, she picks up her beach bag, hits me in the face AGAIN, and runs to her car. She got away.)
